Re: Need help with RC-50

Hi RC-50 Loopers

first, Rick, I'm happy somebody is using the RC-50 :) Let us know if you 
need any more help.

Just to add a few comments on sync:
- If you want to use loops in sync (and not necessarily same lenght), you 
have to turn on TEMPO SYNC for _each_patch_. 
- The first loop will set the tempo. The "Quantize" lamp will light on and 
all other loops will sync to it (if TEMPO SYNC is switched on). Unlike 
Multiply on EDP, it doesn't sync to the loop length. So the second could 
also be shorter than the first loop. It would still sync (i.e. you can 
play a guitar riff and add later a short beat pattern). This is really 
sweet!! :)
- If you want to keep all loops in sync, make sure  that there is always 
at least one loop running when you record a new loop. Otherwise, the new 
loop will change the tempo. This will screw up your other loops because 
they will follow the tempo change...

Some more general hints:
- Turn the %&$%& rhythm track off. Always. Turn it up and down again to 
make sure it's down to zero. I'm sure you'll look pretty stupid if you 
have a gig, play this nice ambient sound - and all of the sudden you have 
these cheesy compressed rock drums kicking in at full volume!! ;-)
- Unlike the feedback workaround, noone else has adapted this. Yet, one 
very nice workaround that I love to use is to have a guitar A/B switch and 
use it for playing 1 rhythm loop and switching between two A/B loops.

>I reviewed the RC-50 very early on and it may have gone though a lot of
beneficial software upgrades since then.
Per, you are either a dreamer - or being very sarcastic ;-))

best regards
Buzap
